Tata Sky completes 5 million subscribers

TATASKY now has 5 Million Proud customer across the length & breadth of our country. Thanks to each of the team member, Distributors, ISPs & teams without whose contribution this would not have been possible

“We have seen a significant jump in sales in this IPL season,” said Mr Vikram Mehra, chief marketing officer at Tata Sky. Being an unlisted company Tata Sky does not disclose its monthly growth figures, but Mr Mehra said the company subscriber base crossed the five million mark recently.

“We expect the momentum to continue mainly due to other sporting events such as the T-20 World Cup and the Fifa World Cup in the next 120 days,” Mr Mehra said.

Interestingly, Tata Sky also attributed the increased sales to the examination season. “We have seen over 50 per cent jump in sales of our Tata Sky Plus, which has a recording facility,” Mr Mehra said.

Tata Sky's research shows that parents have bought Tata Sky Plus to record the favourite programmes of their children during the examination season.

The first update to Firefox 3.6, Download Firefox 3.6.2

The first update to Firefox 3.6 has been released and is now available for download. Users of the latest iteration of Mozilla’s open source browser can grab the bits and push their browser version all the way to 3.6.2. Softpedia readers have already been informed that Mozilla planned to skip 3.6.1 altogether, and, in this regard, the release of Firefox 3.6.2 should come as no surprise. But Mozilla did stray from its initial plans. The releases of Firefox 3.6.2, Firefox 3.5.9 and Firefox 3.0.19 were synchronized and planned for March 30. Because it needed to fix a security vulnerability in version 3.6, Mozilla is now offering 3.6.2 earlier to users.

“As part of Mozilla’s ongoing stability and security update process, Firefox 3.6.2 has been released ahead of schedule and is now available as a free download for Windows, Mac, and Linux,” Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox, revealed.

Firefox 3.6.2 brings to the table a path for a Critical vulnerability disclosed by Evgeny Legerov of Intevydis. The flaw lay in a font decompression routine, Mozilla informed. “The WOFF [Web Open Font Format] decoder contains an integer overflow in a font decompression routine. This flaw could result in too small a memory buffer being allocated to store a downloadable font. An attacker could use this vulnerability to crash a victim's browser and execute arbitrary code on his/her system,” the browser maker said in a security advisory.

Interesting about this vulnerability is the fact that older versions of Firefox are not affected. The security flaw exists in a component introduced with the successor of Firefox 3.5. “Note: Support for the WOFF downloadable font format is new in Firefox 3.6; this vulnerability does not affect earlier versions of Firefox or other products built on the Mozilla browser engine,” Mozilla explained.

Firefox 3.6.2 was released in the second half of January 2010, with Legerov making public the WOFF heap corruption vulnerability about a month later. The flaw was included in the VulnDisco hacking tool, designed as an add-on to the Canvas penetration testing kit. Mozilla had to work extra to deal with the issue, since the flaw was unresponsively disclosed, gratuitously putting users at risk.

"If you already have Firefox 3.6 you will receive an automated update notification within 24 to 48 hours. This update can also be applied manually by selecting “Check for Updates…” from the Help menu," Beltzner added.

Mozilla Firefox 3.7 Alpha 3 Developer Preview

Mozilla Firefox 3.7 Alpha 3 Developer Preview Mozilla Firefox - faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation. Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows. Firefox has the most ways to customize your online experience specifically for the way you use the web. There are more than 6,000 Add-ons (little extras that augment Firefox to meet your unique needs) just waiting out there to help you do more, have more fun and be more creative online. Firefox keeps your personal info personal and your online interests away from the bad guys. Simply put, your security is our top priority. What makes Firefox different? Most importantly, we’re open. That means anyone around the world (and we have thousands of experts watching our back) is able to look into our code and find any potential weak spots in our armor. And when we hear about a problem, we roll up our sleeves and get to work fixing it right away. It’s in your best interest (and ours) to take care of the issue, even if it means admitting we’re a little less than perfect. The TraceMonkey javascript engine brings screaming fast performance to Firefox 3.5. With javascript that's more than twice as fast as Firefox 3 and 10x faster than Firefox 2, you’ll be able to see the difference without breaking out your stopwatch. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Firefox-3...7613.shtml U can download the 3.7 Alpha 3 from here: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/f...est-trunk/

Something your VLC Player can do

 I've found quite Amazing tricks that one can use using VLC player. Just Try this :)

1. Rip DVDs: VLC includes a basic DVD ripper. You probably would never use it when there are better DVD rippers available, but it helps to know that you can in fact, get a decent quality DVD rip with VLC. To rip a movie follow these steps: Go to the Media menu and choose Convert/Save. Click on the Disc tab.

* Here you can adjust the Starting Position and rip only specific titles or chapters.
* Enter file name making sure to end with .MPG, and start ripping.
* Click Save.

2. Record videos: With the new VLC, you can record videos during playback. The record button is hidden by default. To see it, click on View>Advanced Control. The record button will now appear. Clicking on the button while playing a movie or video will start recording. Clicking again will stop recording.

3. Play RAR files: Do you know VLC can play videos zipped inside RAR files? They play like normal video files and you can even use the seek bar. If the RAR file is split into several files, no problem. Just load the first part (.part001.rar ) and it will automatically take the rest of the parts and play the whole file.

4. Play in ASCII mode: VLC media player has an amusing ability, to playback movies in ASCII art. To enable ASCII mode, open VLC media player and click on Tools>Preferences. Open the section ?Video? section and under ?Output? select ?Color ASCII art video output? from the drop down menu. Save it. Now play any video file to enjoy the ASCII art.

5. Listen to online radio: VLC includes hundreds of Shoutcast radio stations. You just need to enable it through Media>Services Discovery>Shoutcast radio listings. Now, open the Playlist and browse through the stations.

6. Convert Audio and Video formats: In VLC you can convert video and audio files from one format to another. Several different formats are supported like MP4, WMV, AVI, OGG, MP3 etc. To access the converter:

* Go to Media>Convert/Save.
* Load the file you want to convert using the Add button and click Convert.
* Now choose the output format and output file location.

7. Download YouTube and other online videos: First grab the URL of the YouTube video page. Now click on Media>Open Network stream. Paste the URL and click Play.

Once VLC starts streaming the video, click Tools>Codec Information and at the bottom of the window you will see a Location box. Copy the URL and paste it on your browser?s address bar. The browser will now download the file which you can save it to your hard disk. Alternatively, you can record the video.

New Search Engine

There are various reasons why you might need to search for people, you may need to find a lost relative, an old flame, a classmate or a business contact - but if you are using a search engine such as Google or Yahoo to search for people, you have probably realized by now that it might work in some cases but in most cases it won't.

How come the best search engines fail so miserably when it comes to people search? The answer lies in a little known but very important part of the web called "the deep web".

Also known as "invisible web", the term "deep web" refers to a vast repository of underlying content, such as documents in online databases that general-purpose web crawlers cannot reach. The deep web content is estimated at 500 times that of the surface web, yet has remained mostly untapped due to the limitations of traditional search engines.

Since most personal profiles, public records and other people-related documents are stored in databases and not on static web pages, most of the higher-quality information about people is simply "invisible" to a regular search engine.
